Southeast Asia’s FinTech landscape is undergoing a significant evolution. In the past, the region’s FinTech momentum was largely dominated by e-wallets, digital payments, and consumer-facing neobanks. But the tides have shifted. As capital efficiency, revenue scalability, and real-world impact become more important for FinTechs and their backers, lending has emerged as the sector’s most celebrated vertical.

Global cross-border payments are at a pivotal juncture. In 2023, international transactions surpassed a staggering $190 trillion in volume, and forecasts suggest that by 2030, this figure could approach nearly $290 trillion. These numbers are not merely impressive—they highlight an urgent need to modernize the payments infrastructure that underpins global commerce.

Agriculture is one of the Philippines’ most vital yet under-optimized industries, constrained by inefficiencies in credit, logistics, and market transparency. Kita is reimagining this system by digitizing trading posts, enabling direct farmer-to-buyer trade, and unlocking fair access to financing. Our investment reflects Altara’s conviction that transforming legacy supply chains with technology and fintech can drive lasting, systemic change.
